On Monday, June 29th, author Jacqueline Carey came to Seattle on tour in support of her new books, Naamah’s Kiss and Santa Olivia.

As usual, she stopped by The Signed Page to sign copies for her fans all over the world. You can read about that online signing HERE.

But after that signing, she had her normal event at the University Bookstore where she met with her adoring fans to read from her forthcoming 2010 book Naamah’s Curse as well as answer questions and sign books.

Suvudu was there to video it.

Here are five videos taken from the event, Part 2 being the reading from her next book, Naamah’s Curse! Enjoy!

Part 1 - 2009 Jacqueline Carey NAAMAH’S KISS Event - Intro

Author Jacqueline Carey came to my home office yesterday to sign hundreds of copies of her new books, Naamah’s Kiss and Santa Olivia, to be sent to people all over the world.

It was the sixth or seventh time we’ve conducted an online signing together.

What is an online signing, you ask?

It’s simple. For the author it is like any number of drop-by bookstore signings they may do while on tour.

For fans, however, it is an opportunity they wouldn’t otherwise have.

I began The Signed Page almost ten years ago to bridge a gap that exists between the touring author and the fan who is unable to attend a bookstore event. In my youth I was that fan. I grew up near the base of Mt. St. Helens, far from any city an author might tour through and getting a signed book from a favorite writer was like pulling teeth. When I could get a signed copy it left my wallet coughing moths.

Once I moved to Seattle and was knee-deep in writers, I saw an opportunity for fans all over the world who had been like me. I devoted The Signed Page to bringing signed and personalized books to those fans who are unable to meet with their favorite touring writers. An author can only visit so many cities per book release, leaving many fans worldwide unable to attain a reasonably-priced signed or personalized copy of their favorite author’s new book for their collection.

I can’t count the thousands of books I have shipped all over the world—purchased at cover price.

And in the almost ten years I’ve been doing this, I’ve never really showed the steps I go through for the writers who sign books for their fans. So I photo documented the process with Jacqueline Carey and her newest books!

Packing 500+ lbs. of books up three flights of stairs is fun!

Jacqueline Carey posted her monthly update on her website today, and included in it is a link to Chapter One from her forthcoming summer release, Naamah’s Kiss!

Jacqueline will also be touring for Naamah’s Kiss and signing a limited amount of online copies at The Signed Page!

Almost makes me want to get a tattoo…

I am a big fan of author Jacqueline Carey, but not for the reasons you might think. I think she is a very talented writer, a gifted wordsmith and storyteller for sure, and the three or four books I’ve read have been great, but the woman is, quite simply, one of the sweetest people I know. I just love it when great writers are coupled with great personalities, and Jacqueline is the epitome of that.

She also gets the best covers in the industry, in my opinion! They are always beautiful, always sexy and always vibrant.

Well, after doing some internet(s) surfing today, I ran across the cover for Jacqueline’s forthcoming book—Naamah’s Kiss! And it’s another stunner! Lucky Jacqueline!

Naamah’s Kiss is the first book in a new trilogy and will be released in June 2009. I’m looking forward to it! More information on it when it becomes available!
